Turning to "this foolish fear about
the crushing load the debt will Im

ha started a loud demonstration by
declaring:
"This debt Is not going to be paid
by oppressive taxation on future gen

by taking away the hard-won savings
Of the present generation,
"It Is going to be paid out of an
increased national income and In

Disagrees With Mrs. llurd.
To the Editor:
Unlike Mrs. Hurd, I think your edi
torials about our president are Just
about right. You sure hit the nail
on the head every stroke and unlike
Knox and Coughlln and the great
mining engineer. Hoover, you tell the
truth and the truth Is what hurts.
People who are opposed to President
Roosevelt and lies are what Is hurt
ing Landon, especially when they are
told by such men as Hoover and
Hearst and Coughlln. In my opinion
Governor Landon has s big load to
carry with Knox on one shoulder and
Hearst on tho other and Hoover bc
tweon. It looks to me as It that Is sn
awful load for him to carry to the
White House and if he can make the
trip and land them there he will
have ft big Job on hla hands getting
rid of them, because they will sure
Insist on running the government to
suit themsolves. When they find they
can't do It, then they will turn their
batteries, which, by the way, are
rather weak, loose on him or else go
off and hide their heads like Hoovor
did when he got snowed under.
However, I would like to say a lew
more words and then I will cut this
communlcaton out. It's Just too bad
that Mrs. Hurd was so disappointed
In President Roosevelt's speech. Per
haps she has beon listening to some
of the great engineer's wise-cracks
which mado Mr. Roosevelt's talk seem
so tnme.

This Is the record. Is It then un

though their mantlei are still too

Roosevelt.
CHARLES VOORHIES.
Medford, Ore., Oet. 1,
Ed. note: The above only demon
strates, we think, how the same
speech can Impress listeners quite
differently.
If President Roosevelt Impugned
the motives and sincerity of ALL his
adversaries, In an Intemperate and
unsportsmanlike manner, and if he
declared or Intimated outstanding
Republican progressives like Charles
Taft are against any real reform then
we missed it. As we heard the speech
the president was very careful to
differentiate, between the "real, aot-
ual, undercover, Republican leader
ship" and the nominal leadership.
And he emphasized this by stressing
the Republican leadership of four,
eight and 12 years ago. In all that
he said. This leadership the president
deelared In effect, was a reactionary
and unenlightened lea ership. and
be maintains the REAL O O P. lead
ership Is the aame today. One may
agree or disagree with this view but
In the opinion of this paper, the
RECORD, not only during those 12
years, but during the Republican
campaign to date, ABSOLUTELY sus
tains It.

Roosevelt "Hales Too Well"
To the Editor:
The president's "red herring"
speech was perhaps good politics, but
does It fit tho record?
No one disputes his sincerity In
repudiating communism, nor osn
anyone dispute the fact ho will get
communist support in November as
surely as 'Landon will receive reac
tionary support, and Just as un
willingly. Both candidates aro lib
erals who reject domination by a
lunatic fringe whether of progress
or reaction.
The record shows Landon consist
ently ldcntlflod with the progressive
element that dominated the Repub
lican convention to the ohngrln of
the Old Guard. Knox la Just as Im
portant as Garner and no more. As
to tho younger Republicans: they
are led by such men as Charles Tsft,
with an unmatched record of civic
reform. Is such a backer more dan
gerous than the Hearst who nom-
nated Roosevelt four years ego? .
To state as F. D. R. did, that Lan
don and his key men are "not
against the way of my reform, but
against that reform Itself. Is a wilful
perversion of truth on a par with
the Hearst attack that provoked It.
Let Hearst and Farley play nuisance
and white-wing alternately: the
president belongs on the crown of
the road,
You are aware I voted for F. D. R.
In '32. Tf I now Incline to Landon,
Roosevelt's speech has much to do
with It, His disavowal of commu
nism wns forthright and fine, but
impugning his adversaries' motives
